• Ready In: 14mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 4 minute steaks or 4 sandwich steaks, about 1/3 pound each
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 cups mesclun salad greens, prewashed
• 1⁄8 lb parmesan cheese

directions

1. 1. Make the salad dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper to taste. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly, until thickened. Set aside.
2. 2. Pat steaks dry with a paper towel and sprinkle meat with freshly ground black pepper.
3. 3. Melt the butter and olive oil together over medium heat in a large skillet. Sear steak for 30 seconds per side (no longer, or it will toughen). Sprinkle with pepper and remove with tongs to a platter.
4. 4. Toss the greens lightly with the reserved salad dressing. With tongs, place salad over the steaks to cover completely. With a vegetable peeler, quickly shave Parmesan over the salad in clean strips. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
